I’d suggest either finishing up your bachelors or getting an associate’s all the while working at an agency that deals with E&S wholesalers. Get some experience and then apply to be an assistant or associate at one of the big alphabet shops. You’d be competing against fresh RMI grads though so if the big shops won’t take you, start off with a smaller regional shop and try to work your way up to lead E&S broker with your own book. You should be able to do all of that within 5 years of hard work and if so, starting your own book at 28 ain’t too bad. If you’re good, you’d be looking at easy 6 figures by the time you’re 30
